Bulk Viscous Cosmological Models Coupled with a Scalar Field in Einstein Theory of Gravitation

Abstract

We have considered and investigated spatially homogeneous Bianchi types II, VIII and IX bulk viscous cosmological models coupled with zero-mass scalar field in Einstein’s theory of gravitation. Some important features of the models, thus obtained, have been discussed. All the models are anisotropic, expanding, non-rotating and accelerating.
